In episode 84 of Matt Loves Cameras film photography podcast I describe 3 sets of photos shot on the Olympus Stylus Epic and Lomography SuperSampler in Indonesia! Play along at home by checking out the photos: https://mattlovescameras.substack.com/p/bali-on-film https://mattlovescameras.substack.com/p/flores-on-film https://mattlovescameras.substack.com/p/toy-camera-travel-photography You can also check out the YouTube videos featuring these photos: Bali and Flores on Olympus Stylus Epic with Kodak ColorPlus 200 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eisecUhtCqg Lomography SuperSampler review…
I was nervous about taking the Olympus Stylus Epic to China. Not because I thought I would lose it or have it stolen, but because I was worried that I wouldn’t take any decent pictures with it. My February roll for the Frugal Film Project had problems with underexposure - so how would I go in China in early Spring? A 200 speed film wasn’t ideal, would there be enough light for my photos? As you can see from these images, I needn’t have worried. Most days we had glorious bright weather, although it was a little chilly. I was careful about taking images on this roll. I only pressed the shutter…

My guest is the amazing Molly Kate, talented photographer, writer with 35mmc, and popular film photography YouTuber @Eclectachrome Desert Island Cameras is of course a rip off of the very long running BBC radio show Desert Island Discs.

You could choose 4 cameras and 4 films, or 7 cameras and 1 film, or 1 camera and 7 films, or any other…
Which 10 photography-related items would you take to a desert island? This is the question I asked Theo Panagopoulos recently. Theo is a talented Sydney photographer, one of the hosts of the Camerosity podcast, and also has his own excellent camera review blog photothinking.com . It was wonderful to hear his 10 items as we progressed through our chat - not surpisingly his Mamiya 7 featured heavily in the mix! Of course my idea for Desert Island Cameras is a rip off of the long running BBC radio Desert Island Discs. Desert Island Camera rules Here are the rules for this segment: * You can…
What's the best brand new bang for buck film camera you can buy today? This was just one of many questions I had the pleasure of asking Dave Mihaly The Old Camera Guy .

We then talk about best frugal choices in 2024 including: * Best bang for your buck brand new camera you can buy today * Best value film you can buy today * Second hand - best P&S recommend * Second hand - SLR recommend. Other topics we talk about include the Frugal Film Project, the new Pentax camera, family…
In recent months I’ve become more interested in art. I’ve bought a gouache set, some watercolour pencils, and found a few ‘how to draw’ books we had at home. So far there’s very little art being produced. Needing inspiration, I turned to 3 photography friends who are also talented artists. Matt Jones, Matthew Joseph, and Bill Thoo often share their artwork with others in a photography group chat. I’ve been amazed and inspired by their art this year. Matthew and Bill have produced beautiful works based on their travels. Matt is a prolific artist in his home studio in Thailand, often creating…
